Monitor using snmp only

We have some servers that have been locked down so they do not respond to ICMP. SNMP has been enabled and I can list the resources but the are down on Orion as they do not respond to ping. Can this be changed so Orion uses SNMP only to monitor the status and show the devices status as up?

Seconded - I would like to have this ability. We have some servers that are owned by a client that doesn't want to allow ping, but does allow SNMP, into their environment.

I concur! I would be awesome if pinging and polling with SNMP were seperated. We have firewalls that we would like to monitor but can't because they will not respond to pings.

run a trigger on the sql nodes table to update the non-pingabale devices to up.
